KOBE

Oh, my!気づくともう7月。2009年折り返しちゃいましたねぇ～。早いもんです。

Wow, it's already in July!! It's passed a half of year. I can't believe how quickly the time goes!

週末、台湾の友人Liliに会いに行ってきました。台湾じゃなくて、神戸にね。

なかなかの珍道中です。神戸＝伊丹空港って思っていたから、何も考えずに羽田空港⇔伊丹空港のチケットを購入していたんですが・・・。伊丹空港から新神戸（Crown Plaza Hotel）は遠かったです。（結局、帰りは神戸空港から帰りました。初です!!）

伊丹空港→三宮駅までバス（約45分）⇒三宮駅地下街を右往左往して市営地下鉄の場所を見つけ、三宮駅→新神戸駅まで地下鉄（約2分）。そして、新神戸駅で出口を間違えたため、ホテルのロビーにたどり着くまでに約10分・・・。（出口を間違えなければ、たったの2分でロビーに到着できるのに!!）

I went to see my Taiwanese best friend, Lili to Kobe instead of Taiwan on the last weekend. That was kind remarkable trip because I got lost alots!

I thought Itami Airport was close to Kobe area, but it's not. I purchased a round trip ticket from Haneda to Itami. Well, it tooks about 1 hour from Itami Airport to a hotel in Shin-Kobe. (Actually, I came back from Kobe Airport instead of Itami. It was the first time to use Kobe Airport!)

I roamed at a underground mall in Sannomiya about 15 minutes. Finally I found the metro. And, I went to wrong an exit, so it took 10 minutes to get a hotel. (If I'm right, it only takes 2 minutes to hotel lobby!!)

ホテルは、Crown Plaza Hotelです。裏山にロープウエーが!!

部屋から、神戸のランドマーク、ポートタワーが見えました!流石に、天気が馬馬虎虎（中国語で、so, so、日本語ではそこそこね!）だったので、全体的に濁ってますねぇ～。

I stayed Crown Plaza Hotel. That was nicer than I expected. There was a rope way to backside of mountain. From my room, I could see the port tower which is a landmark of Kobe. Please don't mention about weather. This was not so bad! That day supposed to rain. I used my "good weather" power! ha, ha. By the way, "so, so" is "Ma ma, Fu fu" in Chinese.

そして久し振りにLiliと再開～♪Nothing has changed...　はは。

Finally, I met Lili! ha, ha She has nothing changed.

そのあと、神戸といえば“観音屋”のチーズケーキ。Liliを連れていこうと思って出かけたんですが・・・。

まずは、三宮駅と元町駅を勘違い。改めて、三宮駅から元町駅へ移動したつもりが・・・・快速乗ったらしく到着したのは神戸駅。ってことで諦めて、その日はSeattle the best coffeeでお茶。Liliが大阪弁しゃべれたら、間違いなく“なんでやねんっ!”ってつっこまれていたんだろうな～。（笑）

After we chat, I supposed to take her to "Kannon-ya" where is my favorite cheese cake place. I confused Sannomiya and Motomachi station. Anew we got a train to Motomachi station. I didn't know we got a rapid train. I thought it was Motomachi station, but there was Kobe station! We gave up to find "Kannon-ya", so we went to Seattle the Best Coffee. ha, ha. If Lili could speak Osaka dialect, she may feed and say "NANDEYANEN"!
